in shockingly contemporary news
brisvegans have torn down a statue Edward Colston and thrown it in the 'harbour'
colston was a revered filthy rich white dude who donated lots of wonga to his home town of brizzle
which contributed to the construction of many lovely buildings and plazas
some of which still bear his name
looking at you megabus terminal @ hall
unfortunately
much like grandpa simpsons onion on his belt
colston made his money by shipping Human Beings as Chattels
(no relation)
and their descendants
to short brutal lives (if they didnt die en route)
of misery and suffering as Slaves
which was the style at the time
admittedly he did this evil shit in the 17th and 18th centuries
when it wasnt uncommon to see 'others' as uncivlized
thus less than human
the europeans and their north american colonies had a merry old time
making eye watering amounts of money via this exploitation
and built much of their current nations wealth
and plenty of grand buildings
(looking at you port of liverpool)
on the 'triangular trade'
of approx fucking 12.5 million Humans
yes yes you cryptofascists
they werent the only ones by any stretch
the africans were usually caught and sold on by other african tribes
and the arabs were past masters
mayans, romans, shang and just about every other fucker
etc etc
but if you take into account
go fuck yourselves moral relativist cunts
...
the main offenders were (in Humans trafficked)
Spain Portugal Great Britain Netherlands U.S.A .France

To make this all about me, it's been nearly 30 years since I witnessed Thunder play at Colston Hall. What was I thinking?
Like Colston's Hall's hastily written June 8th please-dont-burn-us-to-the-ground blog post
https://www.colstonhall.org/news/colston-hall/commitment-to-our-name-change/...
and there was me thinking that you were lovely, cuddly gringles!
you were a bad and presumably spotty wey!
was the show any good? id never heard of them.
smart move by the hall!
Musical tastes went a bit wobbly between the ages of 13-16, commensurate to acne levels, but even by my erratic standards Thunder was an outlier... Think 'The Scorpions' without German accents. They'd probably have gone down a treat on the Australian pub rock scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IWAOPi4VCc 🤘
wao... thats really 80s rock with appropriate hair
its much better than some of the shit i was listening to at that age!
not sure how they would have gone in oz pub rock of the time. might be a bit too wussy.
